Fix Problem with Editing Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM in Avid Media Composer

Sony PXW-FS7 is able to shoot 4K 59.94P VBR, bit rate 600Mbps, MPEG-4 H.264/AVC recordings in XAVC-I mode. Many users feedback they couldn’t import and edit Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM in Avid Media Composer successfully. XAVC is a very professional codec which means the structure of Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM is very special. So there is one thing should be noticed when you try to import and edit Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM videos in Avid Media Composer is you’d better not to import Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM videos from the SD card directly to Avid Media Composer, because the folder structure on the SD card would “confuse” Avid Media Composer. 

To make it work, you have to take the entire XAVC folder on your SD card and copy it into an empty folder on your hard drive. It is very important! Once this is done, you would be able to import the Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM footage from the folder you created on your hard drive into Avid Media Composer. If you find that there’re some other problems happened when you edit Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM footage to Avid Media Composer again, then I would suggest you to transcode Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM XAVC-I footages to DNxHD Codec which is the most suitable codec for Avid Media Composer.

Here I recommend Pavtube XAVC Video Converter(Mac version) to assist you to import and edit Sony PXW-FS7 XDCAM footages in Avid Media Composer successfully.
